Proxy IP geolocation spoofing: bypassing website geolocation restrictions

What does a real IP address reveal about you?

When we book hotels, watch videos or use certain services online, the system is actually quietly reading your IP address information. the geographic location data in the IP address is like an electronic ID card, which may allow you to encounter these situations: temporary business trips and find that the booking system automatically switches to an off-site version, overseas travelers can not open the domestic exclusive membership services, and even some cities limited to the promotional activities are not available to you.

Residential Proxy IP Masquerade Principle

Ordinary server room IPs are easily recognized, andResidential Proxy IPTraffic transit through real home broadband networks. As an example, ipipgo provides a service where their residential IPs come from more than 90 million real home network devices around the world, when the user connects:

Website identification process changes:

Your device → ipipgo residential node → target site
The target website will think that the visitor is a regular user of that residential IP, and this model has a higher probability of success than the server room IP by 87% (source: ipipgo lab test report)

Three steps to accurate geolocation camouflage

Step 1: Get the proxy IP of the corresponding region
Select the target region in the ipipgo client, for example, if you need an IP from Tokyo, Japan, locate the Kanto region on the map. The system will automatically match available nodes from the local home broadband IP pool.

Step 2: Protocol Level Fusion Setup
Select the proxy mode according to the usage scenario:

Step 3: Geolocation Verification
Visit IP testing sites such as whoer.net and focus on checking the following three items to see if they match the target area:
1. Time zone settings
2. Browser language
3. GPS location simulation (some sites will require location permissions)

Strategies for selecting dynamic and static IPs

ipipgo offers both modes:
dynamic IPSuitable for scenarios that require frequent switching, such as multiple queries on price comparison websites, automatically changing IPs for each request to avoid being restricted.
static IPSuitable for operations that require session continuity, such as online payment, account login, and other situations that require a stable network environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I be banned from the website if I use a proxy IP?
A: Choose ipipgo's residential proxy service, whose IPs are all from real home networks, and with the correct time zone and language settings, you basically won't be recognized as a proxy IP.

Q: Why do I need to choose a proxy service that supports full protocol?
A: Different applications use different network protocols, ipipgo supports HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 and other full protocols, whether it is a browser, mobile app or programming crawler can be seamlessly.

Q: What should I do if my IP is suddenly unavailable?
A：Enable the intelligent switching function in ipipgo client, when detecting the abnormal response of the current IP, the system will automatically switch to other available nodes in the same region within 0.8 seconds.

Through the reasonable use of geolocation spoofing technology, we can use various network services more freely. As the world's leading proxy IP service provider, ipipgo suggests users to flexibly choose the combination of dynamic/static, different countries and regions of residential IP solutions according to the specific use scenarios, which can ensure the use of the effect, but also minimize the risk of being identified.
